[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Putney runs great trips. All of you people who suggest volunteering at home answer this: why is it any different? It's still the same wealthy kid who travels to a different part of the city or country to get his/her hours in, no difference. I agree that all of these volunteer trips don't mean much for college apps, but they do offer something for the kid doing them and that is not a terrible thing.[/quote]

Exactly! Some people are so sanctimonious it's not even funny. It's obvious they don't even think about what they're typing. They simply want to be disagreeable and rain on someone else's accomplishments. These are TEENAGERS we're talking about for goodness sake. What do you want from them? It's a wonder so many are suicidal. Nothing they do will ever be enough for some people. Thank God for the sane parents who are committed to their child's growth and well-being instead of trying to create some perfect person they've imagined in their minds. [/quote]
